Create a Revolved Mesh
Use the REVSURF command to create a revolved mesh by rotating a profile
of the object about an axis. REVSURF is useful for mesh forms with rotational
symmetry.
The profile is called a path curve. It can consist of any combination of lines,
circles, arcs, ellipses, elliptical arcs, polylines, splines, closed polylines,
polygons, closed splines, or donuts.
Create an Edge-Defined Mesh
With the EDGESURF command, you can create a Coons surface patch mesh, as
shown in the following illustration, from four objects called edges. Edges can
be arcs, lines, polylines, splines, or elliptical arcs that form a closed loop and
share endpoints. A Coons patch is a bicubic surface (one curve in the M
direction and another in the N direction) interpolated between the four edges.
